  • LATENT HEAT of FUSION INTRODUCTION When a Solid Has Reached Its Melting Point, Additional Heating Melts the Solid Without a Temperature Change
    LATENT HEAT OF FUSION INTRODUCTION When a solid has reached its melting point, additional heating melts the solid without a temperature change. The temperature will remain constant at the melting point until ALL of the solid has melted. The amount of heat needed to melt the solid depends upon both the amount and type of matter that is being melted. Therefore: Q = ML Eq. 1 f where Q is the amount of heat absorbed by the solid, M is the mass of the solid that was melted and Lf is the latent heat of fusion for the type of material that was melted, which is measured in J/kg, NOTE: to fuse means to melt. In this experiment the latent heat of fusion of water will be determined by using the method of mixtures ΣQ=0, or QGained +QLost =0. Ice will be added to a calorimeter containing warm water. The heat energy lost by the water and calorimeter does two things: 1. It melts the ice; 2. It warms the water formed by the melting ice from zero to the final equilibrium temperature of the mixture. Heat gained + Heat lost = 0 Heat needed to melt ice + Heat needed to warm the melt water + Heat lost by warn water = 0 MiceLf + MiceCw (Tf - 0) + MwCw (Tf – Tw) = 0 Eq. 2. * Note: The mass of the melted water is the same as the mass of the ice. where M = mass of warm water initially in calorimeter w Mice = mass of ice and water from the melted ice Cw = specific heat of water Lf = latent heat of fusion of water Tw = initial temperature water Tf = equilibrium temperature of mixture APPARATUS: Calorimeter, thermometer, balance, ice, water OBJECTIVE: To determine the latent heat of fusion of water PROCEDURE: 1.

Lemm ON 2 AND ROLAND SPAN 1 1Thermodynamics, Ruhr-University Bochum, Universitaetsstrasse 150, 44801 Bochum, Germany 2National Institute of Standards and Technology, 325 Broadway, Boulder, Colorado 80305, USA Received: December 23, 2010. Accepted: April 17, 2011. An equation of state (EOS) is presented for the thermodynamic properties of benzene that is valid from the triple point temperature (278.674 K) to 725 K with pressures up to 500 MPa. The equation is expressed in terms of the Helmholtz energy as a function of temperature and density. This for- mulation can be used for the calculation of all thermodynamic properties. Comparisons to experimental data are given to establish the accuracy of the EOS. The approximate uncertainties (k = 2) of properties calculated with the new equation are 0.1% below T = 350 K and 0.2% above T = 350 K for vapor pressure and liquid density, 1% for saturated vapor density, 0.1% for density up to T = 350 K and p = 100 MPa, 0.1 – 0.5% in density above T = 350 K, 1% for the isobaric and saturated heat capaci- ties, and 0.5% in speed of sound. Deviations in the critical region are higher for all properties except vapor pressure.

  • The Basics of Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium (Or Why the Tripoli L2 Tech Question #30 Is Wrong)
    The Basics of Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium (Or why the Tripoli L2 tech question #30 is wrong) A question on the Tripoli L2 exam has the wrong answer? Yes, it does. What is this errant question? 30.Above what temperature does pressurized nitrous oxide change to a gas? a. 97°F b. 75°F c. 37°F The correct answer is: d. all of the above. The answer that is considered correct, however, is: a. 97ºF. This is the critical temperature above which N2O is neither a gas nor a liquid; it is a supercritical fluid. To understand what this means and why the correct answer is “all of the above” you have to know a little about the behavior of liquids and gases. Most people know that water boils at 212ºF. Most people also know that when you’re, for instance, boiling an egg in the mountains, you have to boil it longer to fully cook it. The reason for this has to do with the vapor pressure of water. Every liquid wants to vaporize to some extent. The measure of this tendency is known as the vapor pressure and varies as a function of temperature. When the vapor pressure of a liquid reaches the pressure above it, it boils. Until then, it evaporates until the fraction of vapor in the mixture above it is equal to the ratio of the vapor pressure to the total pressure. At that point it is said to be in equilibrium and no further liquid will evaporate. The vapor pressure of water at 212ºF is 14.696 psi – the atmospheric pressure at sea level.

  • Single Crystal Growth of Mgb2 by Using Low Melting Point Alloy Flux
    Single Crystal Growth of Magnesium Diboride by Using Low Melting Point Alloy Flux Wei Du*, Xugang Xian, Xiangjin Zhao, Li Liu, Zhuo Wang, Rengen Xu School of Environment and Material Engineering, Yantai University, Yantai 264005, P. R. China Abstract Magnesium diboride crystals were grown with low melting alloy flux. The sample with superconductivity at 38.3 K was prepared in the zinc-magnesium flux and another sample with superconductivity at 34.11 K was prepared in the cadmium-magnesium flux. MgB4 was found in both samples, and MgB4’s magnetization curve being above zero line had not superconductivity. Magnesium diboride prepared by these two methods is all flaky and irregular shape and low quality of single crystal. However, these two metals should be the optional flux for magnesium diboride crystal growth. The study of single crystal growth is very helpful for the future applications.

Introduction Since the discovery of superconductivity in Magnesium diboride (MgB2) with a transition temperature (Tc) of 39K [1], a great concern has been given to this material structure, just as high-temperature copper oxide can be doped by elements to improve its superconducting temperature. Up to now, it is failure to improve Tc of doped MgB2 through C [2-3], Al [4], Li [5], Ir [6], Ag [7], Ti [8], Ti, Zr and Hf [9], and Be [10] on the contrary, the Tc is reduced or even disappeared.

  • Liquid-Vapor Equilibrium in a Binary System
    Liquid-Vapor Equilibria in Binary Systems1 Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to study a binary liquid-vapor equilibrium of chloroform and acetone. Measurements of liquid and vapor compositions will be made by refractometry. The data will be treated according to equilibrium thermodynamic considerations, which are developed in the theory section. Theory Consider a liquid-gas equilibrium involving more than one species. By definition, an ideal solution is one in which the vapor pressure of a particular component is proportional to the mole fraction of that component in the liquid phase over the entire range of mole fractions. Note that no distinction is made between solute and solvent. The proportionality constant is the vapor pressure of the pure material. Empirically it has been found that in very dilute solutions the vapor pressure of solvent (major component) is proportional to the mole fraction X of the solvent. The proportionality constant is the vapor pressure, po, of the pure solvent. This rule is called Raoult's law: o (1) psolvent = p solvent Xsolvent for Xsolvent = 1 For a truly ideal solution, this law should apply over the entire range of compositions. However, as Xsolvent decreases, a point will generally be reached where the vapor pressure no longer follows the ideal relationship. Similarly, if we consider the solute in an ideal solution, then Eq.(1) should be valid. Experimentally, it is generally found that for dilute real solutions the following relationship is obeyed: psolute=K Xsolute for Xsolute<< 1 (2) where K is a constant but not equal to the vapor pressure of pure solute.

  • Pressure Vs Temperature (Boiling Point)
    Boiling Points and Vapor Pressure Background Boiling Points and Vapor Pressure Background: Definitions Vapor Pressure: The equilibrium pressure of a vapor above its liquid; the pressure of the vapor resulting from the evaporation of a liquid above a sample of the liquid in a closed container. Boiling Point: The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric (or applied) pressure. As the temperature of the liquid increases, the vapor pressure will increase, as seen below: https://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/liquids/vpress.html Vapor pressure is interpreted in terms of molecules of liquid converting to the gaseous phase and escaping into the empty space above the liquid. In order for the molecules to escape, the intermolecular forces (Van der Waals, dipole- dipole, and hydrogen bonding) have to be overcome, which requires energy. This energy can come in the form of heat, aka increase in temperature. Due to this relationship between vapor pressure and temperature, the boiling point of a liquid decreases as the atmospheric pressure decreases since there is more room above the liquid for molecules to escape into at lower pressure. The graph below illustrates this relationship using common solvents and some terpenes: Pressure vs Temperature (boiling point) Ethanol Heptane Isopropyl Alcohol B-myrcene 290.0 B-caryophyllene d-Limonene Linalool Pulegone 270.0 250.0 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol) a-pinene a-terpineol terpineol-4-ol 230.0 p-cymene 210.0 190.0 170.0 150.0 130.0 110.0 90.0 Temperature (˚C) Temperature 70.0 50.0 30.0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 200 300 400 500 600 760 10.0 -10.0 -30.0 Pressure (torr) 1 Boiling Points and Vapor Pressure Background As a very general rule of thumb, the boiling point of many liquids will drop about 0.5˚C for a 10mmHg decrease in pressure when operating in the region of 760 mmHg (atmospheric pressure).

China *Corresponding authors: Guang-Hua Liu, E-mail: [email protected] Tian-Long Xia, E-mail: [email protected] Jiang-Tao Li, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A fast and furnace-free method of combustion synthesis is employed for the first time to synthesize iron-based superconductors. Using this method, Fe1.1Se1-xTe x (0≤x≤1) samples can be prepared from self-sustained reactions of element powders in only tens of seconds. The obtained Fe1.1Se1-xTe x samples show clear zero resistivity and corresponding magnetic susceptibility drop at around 10-14 K. The Fe1.1Se0.33Te 0.67 sample shows the highest onset Tc of about 14 K, and its upper critical field is estimated to be approximately 54 T. Compared with conventional solid state reaction for preparing polycrystalline FeSe samples, combustion synthesis exhibits much-reduced time and energy consumption, but offers comparable superconducting properties. It is expected that the combustion synthesis method is available for preparing plenty of iron-based superconductors, and in this direction further related work is in progress.

Distillation allows for extrapolation and/or interpolation of data to approximate VP. • Direct vapor pressure measurement requires multiple freeze-thaw cycles to remove atmospheric gases while distillation (especially atmospheric distillation) purges atmospheric gases as part of the process. • Direct measurement OK for “volatile materials” (normal BP < 100 oC) but involved for “high boilers” (normal BP > 100 oC).
